SPOKE WITH TEX THIS EVENING. HE WENT BACK IN THE HOSPITAL THIS MORNING AND HAD HIS LEFT LEG WORKED ON FOR CLOTS. HE HAS BEEN REALLY WORRIED, BECAUSE A LOT OF GUYS GO IN FOR BY-PASS AND COME OUT MINUS A LEG. IN ANY CASE, HE ENDED UP GETTING STINTS. HE WAS ON THE TABLE ALL DAY. I GUESS ABOUT 1500HRS, HE ASKED THEM HOW MUCH LONGER, AND THEY SAID "NOT TO MUCH LONGER, WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF STINTS." HE HAD 7, COUNT EM, 7 STINTS PUT IN HIS LEFT SIDE AND LEG.
THE OLE POTENTIAL CSM WAS IN GOOD SPIRITS AND SOUNDED AS GOOD AS HE HAS IN A WHILE. HE GOES BACK ON THE 9TH OF SEPT. FOR THE OTHER LEG.
HE TOLD ME HE HAD BETTER FEELING IN HIS LEG ALREADY.
IN HIS LAST BLOG, HE MADE REFERENCE TO MY ABILITY TO UTILIZE MY PHONE. LET ME JUST SAY THAT HE HAS BECOME SO DEPENDANT ON TINA, HE CAN'T EVEN ANSWER THE PHONE.
NOW, TEX SHOULD BE AT THE REUNION BARING ANY UNFORSEEN EVENTS. HARRY STILL DOES NOT KNOW IF HE WILL BE THERE, WHIMP.

I WILL BE SENDING OUT SOME INFO FOR ALL THOSE COMING TO THE REUNION.

LATER,
FROM THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS, THIS IS THE RAT SAYING GOOD NIGHT MY BROTHERS.

RAT, YOU SAID IN YOUR LAST BLOG ENTRY, " TEX WILL NOT ANSWER HIS PHONE."

IN ORDER FOR ME TO ANSWER MY PHONE, YOU MUST FIRST DIAL THE NUMBER.

GOOD TO BE BACK ON THE BLOG, HOPE ALL YOU GUYS ARE DOING WELL AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE AT THE REUNION NEXT MO.

FROM THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS,
1SG TEX

EMAILED WEB MASTER AND HE SAID TO TRY AGAIN AND AND SEE IF IT CONTINUES. WHAT HE DIDN'T TELL ME WAS HOW MUCH I HAD TO WRITE TO SEE IF THE BLOG WAS STILL IN WHITE OUT MODE.
TELL YOU WHAT, THIS BUILDING YOUR OWN HOUSE IS A PAIN. IF I WAS 40 IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT. GETTING A GOOD WORK OUT THAT IS FOR SURE.
EVERY THING FOR THE REUNION IS SET. BE SURE TO SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR THE REFFLE, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF REALLY GOOD PRIZES.
TEX IS HIDING AGAIN, CAN'T GET HIM ON HIS PHONE.
lARRY DEBUHR HAS NOT BEEN WELL, A FEW GOOD WORDS HIS WAY WOULD NOT HURT.
BOTH NEAL TILLMAN AND PHIL DUBOIS ARE BOTH DOING REALLY WELL AFTER THEIR BOUTS WITH CANCER.
DANNY MABE SOUNDED PRETTY GOOD LAST TIME I SPOKE WITH HIM.
TED GAGACKI HAS FALLEN OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
HAVE TO GO, IT IS GETTING LATE AND I AM GETTING OLDER AS I TYPE.
GOOD NIGHT MY BROTHERS
RAT

Good morning Alpha Co. Glad to hear the updayes about Tex. Hope all goes well with everything Tex, the reunion is getting very close. My dad always called our later years the GOLDEN YEARS, He said the doctors got the gold and we got the years.


Rat, I was thinking about something for your property, you could set up a base-camp there for all your former troops. What do you think? Just an idea!!!

Have A Great Day!!!!!

TALKED WITH TEX THIS MORNING. HE WAS IN HOUSTON AT THE VA FOR A CHECK UP AFTER HIS BY-PASS. HE WILL HAVE HIS LEFT LEG OPERATED ON ON THE 27TH THEN THEY WILL DECEIDE WHEN TO DO THE OTHER ONE.
JUST SO YOU KNOW, LIL COWBOY WENT ON VACATION TO THE EAST COAST AND DID NOT EVEN INVITE TEX TO GO WITH HIM. I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO TEX, I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO GET UPSET. DON'T ANY ONE SAY ANYTHING TO HIM.

NIGHT ALL
RAT

TEX CALLED THIS MORNING AND HE SOUNDED PRETTY GOOD. HE WENT BACK TO HOUSTON FOR A CHECKUP. THEY WILL NOT BE DOING HIS LEGS AS PLANNED, AND HE WILL NOT FIND OUT THE PARTICULARS UNTIL THURSDAY. HE WILL CALL ASAP WITH RESULTS OF MEETING.

EVERYONE HAVE A REALLY GREAT EVENING.

BROTHERS FOREVER,
RAT

I SPOKE WITH TEX A FEW DAYS AGO AND HE SOUNDED OK. HE IS HEADED BACK DOWN TO HOUSTON TODAY FOR A CHECKUP AND PRE-OP FOR THE LEG BYPASSES. HE IS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME TODAY OR TOMORROW WITH ANOTHER UPDATE ON HIS NASTY ASS DISPOSITION.

I AM HOPING THINGS ARE SMOTHING OUT FOR OLE DANNY BRIGGS, HE SOUNDS LIKE HE IS GETTING READY TO GO POSTAL. I WONDER IF HE IS ALLOWED TO DO THAT NOW THAT HE IS RETIRED. MAYBE IT GOES ALONG WITH THE PENSION.

LIL COWBOY SHOULD BE BACK FROM HIS VACATION TO SOUTH CAROLINA, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT HE FORGOT TO INVITE ME ALONG.

IF ANYONE IS IN CONTACT WITH TED GAGACKI, PLEASE KICK HIM IN THE ASS AND TELL HIM TO CALL ME.

I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE IN SEPTEMBER. IT IS SHAPING UP TO BE A NICE WEEKEND. IF YOU HAQVE NOT MADE ROOM RESERVATIONS YET PLEASE DO SO. ALSO SEND ME YOU REGISTRATION $ ASAP.

HAVE TO GO, LOTS TO DO.

GOODNIGHT MY BROTHERS

RAT

Somebody help me out here. My CRS is getting bad. Didn't the Ratster bitch about not enough guys getting on the blog? I do believe it was July 22 when he last posted anything.

Just for general knowledge- Big Bird, Steve Cruthis, and some old buddies of his went on a road trip. Remember the movie "Wild Hogs"? I think Steve's group is calling themselves "Hogs Gone Wild". He sends an update to me every few days. Last one said they were headed to Colorado. They are stopping at every swimming hole Steve sees to go skinny dipping - Steve says he hasn't found a "friendly" trooper to join in yet. That Big Bird had better leave the booze alone!!!!
